Something that changed how you cook, a tip most people don't know or something you discovered yourself. Or even something that you just think is cool.

Mash your garlic, don't just chop it. The flavour is in the pores you rupture. If you just chop it you don't get as much flavour out. The same is basically true of lots of herbs. Basil is a good one for that
Good tip but it does depend on what you're cooking, in salads and pasta you generally want unbruised Basil so you get the explosion of flavor. Same is true with garlic in some dishes though I mostly find that in Chinese cooking.
